Don't hold me to the quotes, but you get the general idea. It's a pretty simple arrangement at Harris, where they've been plying their trade in one way or another for something in the area of 63 years (I think that actually may be the real figure), and they're pretty savvy when it comes to helping you sort what you're after. At some point there was a fire, and we'll assume for the sake of argument that it was bad, as this business doesn't exist in those environs any longer. But nowadays they bring the rental side just fine (mental note: there are tons of hats), and the sales side is pretty fun too (if you're in the market for a feather boa they have you wrangled). No time to dig super deep stem to stern today, but quite impressed by all I found in the near term. Here's hoping you find what suits you directly.

Rock solid place for original high quality Halloween themed stuff…read more As the name suggests, it is geared more toward the macabre side of Halloween. You're not going to find cute little costumes in here. What you will find are some hard-core realistic and high quality items that are not cheap that can make you look really good. For example, if you want to look like one of the creatures from the movie predator, they have an absolutely fantastic mask for it. The owner is trying to specialize in a niche market that is higher quality, higher cost nicer gear that will last many years and cater toward those who want to delve into a bit of creepy fun. Recommended.

They have changing rooms and the costumes ranged pretty much from $60-$90 and you get to keep them for a week! We rented on the Saturday prior to Halloween Friday and didn't have to return it until Monday, 11/3. You put down your credit card as deposit and pay a cleaning fee when you rent. Be careful because if you lose or damage the costume it ends up being something like $350!!

I was happy to see that Spirit was open until 10 because I don't get off of work until late. I go in at about 9:25 and pick a few costumes. At 9:40, I'm waiting by the dressing room for somebody to come over so I can try them on and be out of there before they close. At 9:45 I walk around and let someone know I need to try a costume on. I am then told that the dressing room is closed. So I tell her that there is 15 minutes til close. I hate being that person, but I was planning on putting the costumes back myself so they wouldn't have to stay later because of me. She tells me again that it's closed even though it's not 10 yet. I'm pretty upset at this point because I drove 20 minutes to get there and rushed over right after work. I ask her, so I'm supposed to pay $60-$70 for a costume that is final sale without even trying it on? She points around to the store and tells me, "We still have to pick all of this up." Oh I'm SO sorry! I didn't realize you're working for free! Oh wait.. you're being paid for it? I cannot believe they expect you to do your job in exchange for money. How crazy is that! That has to be a violation of labor laws. I will be contacting Texas Work Force Commission to let them know that you are being forced to do work in exchange for pay. Just kidding, I'll be calling corporate instead. I walked out without a costume of course, as did 2 other people.
